Development Channel whose aim is to bridge the development divide between underdeveloped and developed countries, is a private sector company with its headquarters in Kampala, Uganda.
Howwe understands that the company already has over 350 full-time staff and will be employing more 5,000 Ugandans, who will start work next week at its call center in Bukoto along Old Kira Road.
Our snoops have learnt that the 5,000 jobs come as preparation for an upcoming economic war which will be spearheaded by Development Channel in other 49 African Countries. The 2 buildings in Bukoto dubbed the “Twin Pillars” accommodate a high tech call centre where 1.2 Billion people will be reached across Africa.
More 50,000 jobs will be created when Development Channel rolls out its Mobile Device manufacturing and assembling plant in Uganda.
The Development Channel boss, says, "by so doing is solving the problem of unemployment which is so widespread not only in Uganda but Africa as a whole." A visit to Development Channel buildings on Old Kira Road shows a beehive of activity, with many young people working away on their computers in the call centre as others submit their applications.
We shall keep you posted.
